Hey guys this is Sarah. Welcome back to Pretty Alliance podcast this week I am hosting Paige Johnson Paige is a marketing consultant Amazon best-selling author community builder, Mama 2, and now Podcast hosts herself and she is here to talk about her journey of motherhood being labeled as millennial mom and how her own experience with maternal

mental health led her to help empower moms so stay tuned.

Mm-hmm. All right guys And Paige, I am so happy. My listeners, they just learned about you, so let's dive in, my friend.

I'm so excited. Thank you so much for having me here. I had like a whole countdown planned. I am ready for this.

Well, first off, tell our listeners about you and give us the details of why you know we've connected today and sharing your story which I know is going to impact

listeners but really just help us out.

Yeah, so as mentioned, hello everyone, my name is Paige.

So the way that we connected was really normalizing the conversation of the hot messes and beautiful

shichos that we go through as moms as parents as women. So for me

community is what's super important to me and really changing the narrative by starting the conversation is a

humongous focus. It's always been impact over influenced for me and I feel like a lot of the things that I've gone through,

although things I wouldn't wish on a lot of the things that I've gone through, although things I wouldn't

wish on a lot of people, it's things that I truly feel like need to be talked about

because it's not talked about enough. So the way that we really connected and dove

into this conversation is the commonality of miscarriage unfortunately so I'm a mom of two I have a almost six year old named Jacob and almost two year old named Jade, but in between those pregnancies, I was really hype and excited about building communities and empowering millennials and I was writing a book and it was the Amazon bestseller and I felt like I was starting to really figure things out life was very much aligned and then life just slapped me in the face and I experienced a miscarriage which definitely rocked me as someone who's never experienced depression, never experienced real loss and through that change and through that

and through that growth and through time of healing and talking about it and normalizing that conversation.

It's kind of led me full circle to building a new community, a podcast and community called More than a Mom.

And it's really aimed to support mom's identities and celebrate our identities outside of

motherhood, normalizing the shit shows we go through, our experiences, and really giving

the middle finger to society's expectations of how we should do things.

And one thing that I love what you're doing is society tells us not to talk about a lot of these things

Don't talk about what we're doing as a mom. You need to just survive you need to make things happen
